Mike School has often changed my life and no matter how hard I try to think it’s a useless process I have always been presented with new and amazing ideas.
Tonight in one of my final electives I discovered a new theory which I was not familiar with that has given me a whole new perspective. We learned about paradigms and while I understand the word and some connotations I didn’t fully grasp how powerful the concept is and how it really runs deep as a theme in my life.

It’s 2011 and I will get shit done, that’s my new MO. So I’m clearing out my draft bucket and throwing down some ideas.
This really reminds me of a powerful quote which I boil down to “victory nor defeat” to keep it in the front of my mind, but here is the whole passage:
Social media is like a website, have it or die… But stop talking about it like you are some sort of internet guru because you have figured out what all 14 yr olds have. You guide the tech-illiterate through this ‘new’ (it’s not new, but the non-techies are just figuring it out) fad as if … Read more
Everything about modern society is focused on making money.
It’s not about being a good artist or exploring yourself or society. All we are trying to do is make new forumulas to try and make money. And if we don’t ‘succeed’ we believe we have failed.

Women can be scarred (as men can as well) by events that they experience. A well adjusted male warrior is able to internalize, learn and move on. You can’t … Read more
Being an Alpha male is the goal. Like it or not, you can’t deny that modern masculine traits are useful and attractive. A big part of this is being proactive and in control of your space; you can’t react to anyone (your physicality, flinching, changing opinions too quickly, nodding heads, staredowns). For example, if you … Read more
The average progression for most businesses is as follows:

Your administration is increasing, you have less and less time to work and you desperately need more information to make decisions.
I was looking for a way to use the Average Delay field in the Business Partner Master Data Payment Terms tab. I was wondering why this doesn’t automatically calculate through the system but I figured someone had written some code to make it work correctly. Knowing the average number of days to payment is an … Read more
I just found out today that you can ‘Recall’ unread emails that you have sent in error.
I made a mistake and needed to correct the official email before resending so I followed this tutorial.
Sorry to all of you coffee/energy drink drinkers, but your favourite drink is actually a major leech of time and money. It doesn’t provide you with any benefits and actually causes more issues than it solves. First off caffeine is a drug… just like alcohol and marijuana… caffeine is a stimulant and is listed under … Read more
